Here's One Way To Keep Your Legs Summer-Sexy All Winter Long

If your weather has been as frigid as ours has been in NYC, your legs have probably been encased in a pair of cozy jeggings for weeks (months?) now. And they might have an additional cozy layer: all the fuzz that's grown in since you started skipping shave sessions. But here's one dermatologist tip that might just make you sigh and pick up your poor neglected Schick (or Venus, or whatever ... ).

One of my favorite dermatologists to interview, Ranella Hirsch, once shared this piece of advice that has stuck with me: It's better to keep shaving regularly in the winter because while it might seem like it would irritate dry skin and make your legs flake more, it actually does the opposite. Shaving is one of the most quick and efficient ways to exfoliate your legs, which minimizes itching and flaking and lets your moisturizer penetrate more effectively.

Do you guys slack on shaving when it's cold out? How often are you picking up the razor to shave your legs these days?
